New Member Introduction

Hello, my name is Christine. I was diagnosed with SLE Lupus in 2009 a year after my daughter was born. No one in my family or friends have Lupus so I feel alone. Everyone seems to be concerned but they have no idea my daily struggles that I keep to myself. When I express my complaints to them, it's just complaints and who wants to hear that everyday? My problem usually isn't taken seriously until I have a flare up that lands me in the hospital for a few days. It would be nice to be able to talk with other people who understand what I am going through.

Hello and Welcome Christine:
You have certainly come to the right place to be amongst people who understand and who will not take your descriptions of your struggles as complaints. You will find that this place is a family and that we genuinely care for one another. So, please tell us what you are going through and we will do all that we can to give you support, information, understanding, comfort and friendship.
Again...welcome!
